Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti.

They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Goodโ€™s death.

What donโ€™t they want the public to know?

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you theyโ€™d come after Veteransโ€™ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Trumpโ€™s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

The Bad Voting Bill that Refuses to Die The SAVE Act would stop millions of eligible Americans from voting.

The SAVE Act would make voting harder for millions of Americans. Itโ€™s based on the lie that noncitizens routinely vote in our elections โ€” the truth is that noncitizen voting is already illegal and vanishingly rare.

Sign Petition: End the Terror and Violence. Abolish ICE. This is not law enforcement. It is terror. (44832 signatures on petition)

If you feel that same responsibility, I ask you to stand with me. Make your voice heard. Add your name to a petition demanding that Congress abolish ICE. Let us show, unmistakably, that cruelty will never be the measure of this country.

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Thereโ€™s only 1 person in Congress who doesnโ€™t trade stocks, doesnโ€™t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. Thatโ€™s me. And it should be the standard.

Trump: โ€˜There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!โ€™ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Notice how those who wanted to overthrow the government for being asked to carry proof of their covid vaccination, claiming itโ€™s an infringement on their freedoms, are suddenly all in favor of needing multiple proofs of identity just so they can exercise their constitutional right to vote.

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Eight years ago today, 17 students and educators were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. As we honor those we lost, we continue to fight alongside the students and families to put an end to our countryโ€™s gun violence epidemic.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

How many do not have the resources to go through all of this as women? I am lucky enough to have a passport with my married name. $130. Thatโ€™s a poll tax. How many women/others cannot afford the 1st app(has to be done in person)?This is voter suppression. I wish more people saw and understood that.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.
